Computer Engineering deals with the design, development, testing, and evaluation of components, systems, and networks. Research in Computer Engineering strives to acheive higher performance in the systems and components that are built as well as in the design process. At USC, research is focused in three main areas: Computer Architecture and Parallel Processing, Design and Analysis of Computer Networks and their Protocols, and VLSI Design and Computer Aided Design and Verification of VLSI.
